If you need to design a cell cable for your specific needs, refer to the pin-layout of the IMX8 cell cable in
Appendix B of this manual.
Computer Requirements
Before you connect an IMX8 Multiplexer to a host computer, you must ensure that your computer meets these
simple requirements:

A computer based on one of the x86

family of

Intel TM microprocessors or a 100%-compatible
processor from another vendor.

Microsoft Windows
®
10 or newer is required with Gamry Framework™ software version 7.9 and
above. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these operating systems are supported.

A USB port that supports Full Speed (12 Mbits/second) or High Speed (480 Mbits/second) USB
transfers. It must be compatible with Revision 1.1 or Revision 2.0 of the USB specification.
Gamry’s Windows
®
-based application software packages may impose additional, more stringent requirements.
See the software documentation or contact a Gamry representative for details.
Software Installation
The IMX8 Multiplexer is compatible with the Windows
®
Plug & Play configuration system. Like most Plug &
Play hardware, it is best if you install the software for the IMX8 Multiplexer before you install the instrument
hardware.
Gamry’s software can be installed from a physical medium such as a DVD or a pre-programmed software flash
drive, or it can be installed via an Internet download. The most up-to-date download can be found on
www.gamry.com .
If you have inserted the Gamry DVD or flash drive into your computer and the Gamry Setup program does not
start automatically:
1) Navigate to the root folder of the device containing the Gamry Software (DVD or flash drive) or to a
Windows
®
folder containing the Gamry Software.
2) Run the program called “
AUTORUN.EXE
“ found in this folder.
If you do not know how to navigate to the Gamry Installation device, consult your local computer expert or
network administrator or email
techsupport@gamry.com .
“
AUTORUN.EXE
” runs a set-up program. In most cases, you can choose the default choices or the most
obvious choices on all screens shown during the set-up process. The installation process installs Gamry’s
Framework application packages and installs any multiplexed scripts that are available for those applications.
Reboot your Computer after Software Installation
Reboot your computer after the Gamry Setup program is done. The Setup program normally offers you the
opportunity to do so. USB device drivers are usually loaded when Windows boots up. Following Setup, you
may not be able to use your IMX8 Multiplexer until the drivers are loaded.
Device-driver installation may not occur until a while after the Windows
®
Desktop appears.
On a slow computer, or a busy computer with lots of active applications, the delay before driver installation
can be a minute or more.
